[Bmi] I was banned from connectionist mailing list?

[Ben Goertzel]

I agree with Joanna.

I can see why the list moderators would consider the TOC of

off-topic since it seems to mainly be about politics rather than
connectionist scientific material.

However, I feel they should have warned you of their opinion first
rather than banning you summarily as you report they have done....
